Happy Veterans Day! Today, Tim King at Sojourners calls on everyone to be a good neighbor[1] to a vet, even if you didn't support the war they fought in. And, an Infantry platoon leader reflects on what it means[2] to receive such support. On this day especially, let us not forget the moral injuries[3] done to our returning veterans as we face the "end" of the war in Iraq.

The sex abuse scandal at Penn State[4] continues to dominate headlines. However, for tomorrow's home game against Nebraska, atendees are encouraged to wear blue[5] in support for the prevention of child abuse. Also, Penn State alums have raised about $100,000 for the Rape Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), which runs the National Sexual Assault Hotline.
